TRX Android Client

[scosgt]

Are you working on a new .apk that actually allows the program to be tested?

 

[visegrip72]

Just saw this other option for anyone interested. Beside the teamviewer or other pc remote control app, check out this thread:
Streaming FROM an Android phone? Pretty cool idea!

 

[scosgt]

OK. got it working on the local network.
Can not get it to connect over cellular.
Using Port 5500 ( it is open) and my ip is scosgt.hopto.org
What else do I need? Not connecting. Using the same port local network it does connect.

 

[visegrip72]

just checking, did you configure your router to port forward 5500 to your pc?

 

[scosgt]

OK, can not get it to stream outside the network.
Won't connect.
And ran out of time for today again.
My frustration meter is about full.
The way you have this limited, I suspect it does not work.

yes, I normally use that port with radiofeed, so it is a live port. I simply turned off the 996P2 and radiofeed, making the port available.

For IP, did you put in what you get from googling "my ip"? I typically see numbers, but I know vise gets letters.

No. on the computer you installer the server program, open a command prompt and type IPCONFIG . The ip address for that computer will be near the top of the list.

That's your local IP.

It's not normally accessible from anywhere except your own LAN.

I just typed ipconfig and it shows the local "apartment number" of my PC....you want the "street address" of your router/cable-dsl modem, type "my ip" into google and it will display it in a large box. Type that ip address into the app for off home use.

But is it manually forwarded or does your radiofeed software set it up with UPnP?
If it does it with UPnP it may un-forward it when you exit the software.

 

[visegrip72]

You can also go to ipv4.me or any of the ton others out there to get your internet (external) IP

hmmm. uPNP. No uPNP with this software, I never really tried it or know what is involved. I can look into it though, good idea, even if not directed to my software.

(for all reading, not directed)

The networking part of all of this is a bit advanced, but it is the same way for my suite as it is for any other server you want on your local machine, ftp, mindcraft, web, etc.

• You may want to either configure the server pc to use a static local/internal ip, or have the router assign a static ip. This is even for not using the software outside the house. If you have a power outage or even reboot your computer, it could get a new local/internal IP address if not static. Then you'll have to update the client software (and possibly router) accordingly, every time this happens.
• Configure the router to port forward any external traffic on that port to the internal address.
• Some routers allow you to pick a computer, not requiring a static local/internal IP for that machine for external/internet access - local access you will still need to update the client if you use this method.
• If you do not pay for a static external/internet IP, your address could, and probably will, change over time.
• You can get a free dynamic dns (DDNS) address from many sources, I use FreeDNS there are lots out there. This allows you to use a name, like visegrip72.thesoftwarehandyman.com instead of numbers that change. It updates the name with the new numbers for you. Configure the client with the name.
• The DDNS needs something to automatically update it when your external/internet IP changes. Many routers have a setting for this, but that setting is not always compatible with all DDNS servers. It may be easier to download a DDNS client that runs on your server to update the DDNS. Most DDNS services have update clients listed on their site that work with their service.
• After all of the above is set up correctly, you should be able to access the application from outside the network.
• Static or assigned local IP is really needed for doing any server style applications that use both local/internal and external/internet access.

For most people it will be no more complicated than getting your IP from google search, and accessing your router to add a PORT FORWARD of the port of your choosing, and ensuring that you align that port forward on the router with the LOCAL 168.92.xxxx (each PC/phone/tablet connected to your router gets it's own "local" ip addresss) whatever of the specific attached computer running the server. For Netgear routers you can access the controls by typing routerlogin.net.

What your suggesting is what you need to stream it via the internet, for stream via your local network you need the exact ip address of the computer you installed the Android server client on.

In ipconfig it will either be the wireless IPv4 address if your connected to your network wirelessly.

OR if your using a network cable/ ethernet cable then it will be Ethernet adapter Local Area Network IPv4 address .

Either way unless your on a domain it should start with 192.168.x.xx (the "X" will be numbers)

The above is needed to stream in your home from your network aka: "LOCAL" without using the internet.

Just an FYI, apparently somebody is working on dotnet on the pi linux platform:

Easy to set up and works great!
I registered right away.
Thanks.

Are you working on a new .apk that actually allows the program to be tested?

This does allow you to test. The release notes say you get 7 to 10 minutes or so depending on the amount of activity.

And, if I understand correctly, you can have another 7-10 minutes (or whatever it works out as) each day of testing.

 

[visegrip72]

Yes, about 10 minutes every on Android day without registering, unlimited use on the Windows machine. I am also working on adding the call logging feature like the Demo has. I am collecting the data, just need to update the user interface and log file system.

 

[visegrip72]

(this update is not released to the public yet)
Got some logging in there. Nothing to files, yet. Still have to get the columns set up, also want to make the system save the column layout if you customize it. Resizing the screen expands the listbox too.
Have another idea for future, save audio recordings, appending recordings together for same talk groups. Not sure how much that is needed, but an idea. All of these would be on the windows server side.
